What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? sketchseven
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. n/a
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Bloodhound
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? n/a
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Barometer - Control (around point B)
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Using Bloodhound Ultimate ability
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 1
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 12/04/24 22:21
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Seeing significant frame rate drops when using Bloodhound Ultimate ability. Seems to be most pronounced when firing, and happens in ADS and hip fire. Drops from solid 60fps to 40fps with consequent effect on gameplay. Had Ultimate ability multiple times in match and have three clips of frame rate dropping from 60 down to around 40 while using the Ult. Effect occurs after a while (popping Ultimate does not instantly reduce frames, they drop after a period of time - this may be related to firing).
What should be happening instead? Frame rate should be solid
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use Bloodhound and run a few Control maps for the quick Ultimate. I have not tested in Firing Range.

  • Similar issue occurs when Crypto triggers Ultimate ability. The field visual effects causes frame rate drop (down as low as 35) well before the actual EMP triggers.
